A pattern of things to come. mspart

Me too. I would rather DeSantis be the GOP guy but that was not to be. mspart

Yianni is not a multiple World and Olympic champ. And the previous year's world champ. No put down on Yianni but that's just a fact. I agree DT shoudl not be at the olympics, he proved that in the trials. But if he had been at the Trials and won as expected, then I think we would have had a different outcome in Paris. But his heart was not in it, you could see no fire. Nothing wrong with that, but if he felt that way he shouldn't have participated in the Trials. Maybe he didn't know and just burned out training for the Trials and just didn't want that grind for any longer. Or maybe he knew about the OSU job and was diverted. mspart

And that's the thing. He is crazy on social media. But his policies were pretty straighforward and worked. That's why you can't think of an example of what you are concerned about. mspart

Correct, the Ds stopped him from being able to do what he wanted. So too late, he decided he could move money around and get it done. Biden stopped that on day one. mspart

Especially in light of Walz spending years lying about his military record. Said he retired at a higher rank than he actually did. Very easy to verify the lie here. Said he carried weapons in war. Very easy to verify the lie here. Said he was in a war zone. Very easy to verify the lie here. Said he served 24 years in the national guard. Very easy to verify the truth here. He is not being criticized for the last item. It is for the first three items. mspart

Smoked Chicken or Smoked Salmon? mspart

I saw the title of the thread and knew immediately what this would be about. Based on your question, I have to question if you watched any of the matches of the Olympics. Many had challenges and many were lost. Go back and watch Dake's Bronze match. You'll see it. mspart

Yes, that guy was tough to understand. I'm wondering why he was speaking in English. Everything else was in French and then English. mspart

I don't know. That wrapper looks pretty good. aspart

How are you, who is dead, so wise in the ways of IP science? mspart

I would much rather have DeSantis than Trump. That's for sure. I would much rather have Trump than Kamala. That's for sure. aspart

It just never ends with this guy. mspart

If he had been motivated he would have won OTTs. I think there was talk about OSU coaching and that distracted him. He did not look like he wanted a trip to Paris to me. I could be wrong. He could have placed first but the desire would have had to be there. It wasn't. He's doing fine. mspart

Well, there aren't any anymore, that's for sure. Having a Primary is a joke to the Ds. Yeah, well we disagree so we'll put in whoever we want. That is essentially what they are telegraphing the next 4 years will be if they win. mspart

Such people are not worthy of consideration BB. In all the lead up to where we are now, it started with someone doesn't feel safe or is uncomfortable because of something that was said. They need their own rooms to go to to unwind. They need to not have anyone contrary to their opinions on campus to share another opinion. Now we have TPT saying that that same logic should not, cannot, must not be used for those feeling uncomfortable or unsafe when using the wrong bathroom. Sorry TPT, you can't have it both ways. It is either right or wrong to make all people feel uncomfortable or not feel safe. Which is it? mspart

I suppose he could but then his delegates have already pledged to Kamala. They would have to take all of the pre ballots they threw away for Biden and try to recover them and cancel the printing of the pre ballots for Kamala. mspart

When their rules say it is democratic, it should be democratic. Given the circumstances i don't know how they would do that. All I know is that if Kamala had been on the primary ballot she would not have been second or third. But in fact, Biden was essentially the only one allowed on primary ballots. And he received the votes. Then he did not voluntarily leave, he was coerced to leave the race. He said he would never leave unless God himself came down and told him. That was just before he gave it up. He was coerced and essentially told we can do this the easy way or the hard way. He chose the easy way because he was going to have to go one way or the other. That is where democracy in the D party died in this case. They forced the guy out that got all the primary votes for someone who got zero primary votes. There was no other voting allowed. Granted the delegates have fallen in line but they are not the people who voted. What would it look like if Biden didn't run and it was a wide open primary? That would have been democratic. Now you can't say there weren't signs. Biden has deteriorated significantly in the last 2 years. Yet all anyone without a brain could say was he is the best he's ever been, he runs circles around his staff etc etc. And Kamala was a huge liability and discussions were had to drop her. Then he quits and he is amazing and she is the saviour of the party and the right person for the job. Talk about two faced - and that's just the media. mspart

I'm wondering about Snyder. In his Bronze medal match, he hand fought like a crazy man and bled like one too. But I don't remember a lot of shots taken. He reached for legs and backed off. I never really saw a concerted offensive attack. Maybe I just don't remember well. But that is not the Snyder of yesteryear. When he shoots on Taz, he gets crushed. Happened again in the semi's. I think that affected him. It wouldn't surprise me if he went looking for something else to do. Lee - He can keep going if his knees are good. Or he may choose to coach or something else. He is committed to HWC for a few years. Retherford - I think he is done. Too bad about that, I hope he is ok. Dake - he came alive in the Bronze medal match late. If he can keep that going, he could last another cycle, but he is getting long in the tooth. But I think he has it physically to give. Brooks - He may be our guy for awhile but not sure. He medalled which is not nothing. So he was successful. He's young enough but I think he is more vulnerable. I don't think his matches with Taylor are indicative of him, but indicative that Taylor was done as he just didn't look motivated. Parris - He has done well just not this time. It seems to me this is his weight for awhile. My question marks are really Dake and Snyder. They ahve been playing this game for a long time and may decide the pasture is greener over there. mspart

Wow, now this is news. Musk and Rumble call them on their schtick and they have no defense so they cave and quit. Wow, just incredible. mspart

Yes, he is such a nice poster, never denigrates anyone on the boards and is always cordial. mspart Actually, I did not call you names. Actually I referenced the video of Biden saying he chose her because of the color of her skin and the lack of male genitalia. I did not infer that from the internet. He said it. If you don't like that he said it, too bad. He said it and you have no defense of it because it is the truth, and he said it. You don't argue with Biden about it. All you can do is call me names here and try to disparage me or others that point it out. It is weak and not very interesting. You need to try harder to abide by your credo of positive posting. As for your hypocritical posting here, I suggest you look in the mirror as you are seriously projecting here. mspart

No need to censor here. That is why we have these boards. I think personal attacks and bad language are all that should be considered. Personal attacks does not include jokes about BobDole being dead or floating around or being six feet under or speaking with other deceased individuals. By the way, how is Amelia Earhart doing? Had any conversations with her lately? Has George Washington looked you up since you were a one time candidate for President, compadres you know? mspart

I'll answer for RV. If an R - Yes, relevant and get all the dirt you can. If a D - Not relevant as Ds change their minds so often they don't know if they are coming or going. What they said x years ago means nothing. It is what they are saying now that means anything at all and is all that is relevant. mspart

Yes TPT, we know you want men to compete against women in women's sports. Yes, we know you want the state to waste money supplying school boys feminine products that they can't use. It's not being terrified. It was called common sense not too long ago. But we are now enlightened to the fact that men should be able to compete against women and use their lavatory and locker room facilities without question. Something most women are not comfortable with. Again, a situation laughable not too long ago, even by you. mspart
